Energy Facts

The amount of energy Americans use doubles about every 20 years. Electricity consumption is expected to increase 45 percent by 2030, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Only one third of the energy in burning coal reaches the consumer as electricity.

According to the American Solar Energy Society, enough sunlight falls on the earth's surface each minute to meet world energy demand for an entire year.

1200 homes can be powered for one year with 1 million tons of garbage. If all garbage in the United States was converted to energy it could power a city the size of Buffalo, New York for one year.

The Department of Energy estimates that about 20% of the energy you use at home powers electrical appliances like televisions, DVD players, stereos, coffee makers, toasters and microwaves - even when they're turned off.

If 10,000 schools turned off their lights for one minute it could save $81,885.
